How could I EVER doubt the authority of Greta's pronouncements? She's SOOOO totally qualified to tell us how bad we are.

After all - she's a kid - and she's famous for a stunt to make her famous. That's authority there!

Next up - Kim Kardashian will set nuclear power standards.......

Yeah, you must really be in tune with several decades of modern science to need to rely on the weight of her personal authority to assess whether she is mostly right.

You really are a digital idiot ain't ya?

(Digital idiot - a person who believes all issues only have 2 sides - theirs and the wrong one).

Maybe it's just me... But she does seem like a spoiled little shit.

If anyone wonders why I hate the orange turd so much, the attacks on this innocent girl whom 99.9% of climate scientists agree with, are attacked by the same supporters that that bully panders to, is yet another reason. The fossil fuel CEOs for the past century have put profits above our species viability, and the orange turd sucks up to the same industry.

Spoiled kid, "mentally ill," whatever. She's still just a kid. If you have to resort to ad homs to defeat the argument of a 16-year-old, you dumb.

Since when does advocating for scientific fact make her spoiled? By your bullshit logic Galileo was spoiled too for advocating for the truth? So what now Cod, have her arrested?

Trump is the spoiled brat, not her.

Yeah, so obviously it no longer matters if she is mostly right.    It's whether she tickles your fancy that really matters.

I actually agree with her argument. Just my impression of her that's all.

She sailed across the Atlantic, sure with help, but even when I was her age, that wouldn't have been something I would have attempted. She said it herself, "I shouldn't be here, I should be back in school." And she is right, the adults of the world should listen to the science and get global business to adapt, instead of what they are doing now, and protecting greed at the expense of our species viability.

If I had had her as a friend growing up, the asshole bullies wouldn't have picked on me. She has more bravery than Trump or his band of sycophants.

You can make sound arguments all day long, doesn't mean that I am bound to like you. That's life.

How the fuck does that make her "spoiled". Right now the adults need a kick in the pants. I'd wish the adults would listen to the adult scientists, but they are not. The youth have to live with what the adults don't do, so she has every fucking right in the world to speak up to the ignorance of the adults.
